We are excited to have him in our lives! — and also relieved he waited until after the election.

For obvious reasons, blogging will be light for the next few days.

But with this new addition to our family — and with the conclusion of yet another election cycle — it seems like an appropriate time for reflection.

I’d like to thank you for helping make this a “must-read” space in the political world.

I sincerely appreciate your support.

Thanks are also due to my family here at The Daily Caller — for their continued encouragement and support. (I know, it’s hard to imagine an office with its own bar would also be so family friendly. But they are…)

I’m honored to be a part of this fine team, and to have you as a reader. Thanks for all you do.
